Ahhhhhhhh Shit (UK courts are asses)
 

Big case in the UK this, this does not bode well IMO

I met him in Vegas last summer. Bummer. I was really hoping this would go the other way.

me 2, when i go to london for the ASOP thingy, im gonna go check this place out.

The guy in question owns the place and does commentary on TV poker shows here, so he is pretty famous now.

Ahhh well, gg poker!

Under what circumstances anywhere would you expect to see government make a decision that cuts itself out of the loop financially?

The "poker-isn't-gambling" crowd isn't going to like this, but poker indeed *is* a combination of skill and luck, and while skill dominates in the long run, 95% of the people who play poker in the B&M world will never see the long run.

Its the luck factor that gives the skill players their edge. Bad players have to win often enough to prompt them to stick around.

Besides, put 10 equally skilled players at a table for a SNG and if all 10 never make a mistake, the result will be 100% based upon luck.

So, there are licensed poker rooms in the UK, yes?

yes, none any good or anywhere near me.

This was more about the arguament than the club, also the guys that owns it as TP said, is a sound guy, he does alot for poker here. So its a shame
